> Currently in Kafka Streams, the way the windows are expired in RocksDB is triggered by new event insertion.  When a window is created at T0 with 10 minutes retention, when we saw a new record coming with event timestamp T0 + 10 +1, we will expire that window (remove it) out of RocksDB.
> In the real world, it's very easy to see event coming with future timestamp (or out-of-order events coming with big time gaps between events), this way of retiring a window based on one event's event timestamp is dangerous.  I think at least we need to consider both the event's event time and server/stream time elapse.
